Question

    A scored 50% marks and failed by 60 marks whereas B scored 80% marks, which was 90 more than the passing marks of the examination. Find the total marks of the examination.

    A 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the total available marks in the examination be 100x. Marks scored by A = 50% of 100x = 50x Marks scored by B = 80% of 100x = 80x According to question, => 50x + 60 = 80x – 90 => 30x = 150 => x = 5 Total marks of the examination = 100x = 500
